A complete project manager, running over email
Vertically AI handles the repetitive coordination work end-to-end — so your team executes more projects without adding headcount.
No new tool to learn
Runs entirely over email
Vertically works through the channel your team already lives in. People reply to emails in plain language — “done, shipping Thursday”, “blocked on legal” — and the AI PM interprets intent and updates the board. No app to adopt, no logins to chase.
- CC a project inbox like project-delta@vertically.ai
- Understands natural language, not status codes
- Zero behavioral change for contributors

Wrapping up the webhook work — should be in review by Thursday.
Vertically · 9:15 AM
Thanks, Marco. I've moved “Billing webhook” to In Progress with a Thursday target and updated the board.
A PM that never sleeps
Coordinates 24/7, in every timezone
Distributed teams stall waiting for the next sync. Vertically runs around the clock, following up the moment a dependency slips — in the contributor's own language — so work moves while your team is offline.
- Round-the-clock follow-ups and nudges
- Multilingual — coordinates across global teams
- No weekly-meeting lag on blockers
Critical-path awareness
Escalates before deadlines slip
Vertically maps dependencies with critical-path logic. When an upstream task falls behind, it gathers context and raises a clear, professional escalation to the right stakeholder — before the deadline is already missed.
- Detects at-risk milestones automatically
- Aggregates context for stakeholders
- Polite, on-brand, human-sounding messages
Escalation · critical path at risk
“Q3 launch page” has been blocked for 2 days on legal sign-off, threatening the Friday milestone.
Always-current source of truth
Keeps the Kanban board accurate
The board updates itself from the conversation. Cards move, statuses change, owners get reassigned — all derived from real messages, so leadership sees an accurate picture without anyone doing data entry.
- Cards move from real conversations
- Live dashboard for leadership visibility
- No manual dragging or status updates

Calendar-aware planning
Schedules against real capacity
Vertically integrates with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 to read availability and leave, then schedules milestones against genuine capacity — and recalculates target dates across the plan when things shift.
- Google Workspace & Microsoft 365
- Respects availability and time off
- Auto-recalculates dependent dates
Programmatic access
Build on the Vertically API
A REST API gives your tools and automations direct access to projects, boards, and tasks. Wire Vertically into your own stack or build internal workflows on top of it — and every write still passes through the same deterministic rules engine, so an API call is as safe and auditable as an email. Available on the Enterprise plan.
- Read and update projects, boards, and tasks
- Token-scoped, tenant-isolated access
- Writes execute through the deterministic engine
-H "Authorization: Bearer ••••" \
-d { "title": "Ship billing webhook" }
{ "id": "tsk_8f2", "status": "todo",
"applied_by": "rules-engine" }
Model Context Protocol
Connect your AI agents over MCP
Vertically ships a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, so AI assistants and agents — like Claude — can read live project state and request changes in context. Vertically becomes the governed source of truth your agents work from, with the rules engine executing every change they propose. Available on the Enterprise plan.
- Expose project state to MCP-compatible agents
- Ask for status or request updates from your assistant
- Same deterministic guardrails on every change

No hallucinated changes
Deterministic guardrails
The model only reads intent and drafts messages. Every state change is executed by a deterministic rules engine with strict validation — decoupled from the LLM — so the board is never mutated by a hallucination.
- LLM parses; rules engine executes
- Strict validation on every change
- Auditable, predictable behavior
LLM interprets intent
“done, merged to main”

Works with the systems your team already runs on
Vertically connects to Jira, GitHub, and Azure DevOps over webhooks — so the AI project manager coordinates inside your existing stack instead of replacing it.
Jira
Connect your Jira issues and boards. Changes in Jira flow into Vertically through webhooks, so the AI project manager always works from the latest state.
GitHub
Tie tasks to pull requests and issues. Merges, reviews, and status changes flow into Vertically automatically through GitHub webhooks.
Azure DevOps
Connect Azure Boards work items and pipelines. Vertically ingests Azure DevOps service hooks to stay in sync with your delivery workflow.
Real-time webhooks
React to changes the moment they happen — no polling, no lag.
Data integration
Updates flow from your systems into Vertically, so everything stays consistent.
No rip-and-replace
Keep the tools you have. Vertically layers coordination on top.
More projects. Less hiring. Start with one.
Join the waitlist — built first for IT project managers and tech startups. Put a tireless AI project manager to work without changing how your team already operates.
